Abstract
A method of forming a hose from a flat web material includes supplying the flat web material via a feeding device, folding the edges of the flat web material with at least one hose formation tool, with the edge sections subsequently overlapping, and connecting to each other parts of the overlapping edge sections, A target position of at least one edge is determined after the edges have been folded over, with the actual position of at least one edge being determined by a measuring device. In the event of a deviation of the actual position from the target position, the hose formation tool is moved, via an actuator, at least perpendicular relative to the direction of transportation of the flat web material.
